From those netutat tailings, , which, - however nulated or controuled by education and religion, will on some occasions peep torth _in spite of both. One such instance is sufficient to sanction general charges on the whole profession, and the liberality and disin terestedness of. the many, are forgotten in the indi vidual example produced in support of the accusation. • Not so, .with an instance of a contraty character. If a splendid example of right feeling, and the absence of all interested motives, occur in a member of the Established Church, a. 4 aiikle paragraph at most, records the act,---the individual is scarcely praised for his conduct--,4114, as for any general observation in favour o f th e I ;:rofession 'to wiiich he belongs in con sequence, i never is dreamt of. We shall, however, make a':l exception to this rule, and in recording the act 'Aich has done such honour to the venerable DEAN of WINCHESTER, we shall take the liberty of observing, that this adds another to the many proofs which are daily given by our Clergy, of the conscien cious motives which influence their conduct. Dr. lIENNELL, finding his advanced age and increasing infirmities to disqualify him from the discharge of his Own duties as Master of the Temple, has resigned that valuable piece of preferment! l'his act requires no comment. It speaks for itself, and its reward will be in that feeling of conscious rectitude from which it sprang. The Mastership of the Temple, has usually been conferred on men distinguished for their learning and powers of preaching; and we arc happy to under stand that the patronage of the Crown, is to be bestowed on the present occasion also, on a divine, distinguished for his deep research of the Scriptures— his eloquenc e i n ex p o unding them—and his amiable character as a Parish Priest. Report, at least, has assigned the M as t ers hi p o f t h e T emp l e, to the Rev. C. BENSON, the Rector of St. Giles s. 1 Every age has its characteristic, and the charac teristic of the present age is excessive sensibility, and double refined humanity.- Not that these virtues are of better growth or greater strength, than those which adorned - the bosom of our manly ancestors, but fostered in a soil become rank by over-manuring, they shoot into existence a large weakly leaf, at the ex tremity of a long, thin, and sickly stem. Time was, when this excessive sensibility was confined to the higher orders of society, and there for a time it did 4,00 d, because it helped to open the purse-strings of the rich, and to pour their superabundance into the lap of poverty. Although the idle and wicked, equally with the industrious and virtuous, shared the blessing, it mattered not, the circulating medium was disseminated through unusual channels, but large enough to contain a more copious supply, and thus, upon the whole, the country was benefitted. Since, however, nervous diseases went out of fashion, exces sive sensibility receded to the middling ranks, and then instead of money, the poor only had precept ; and hence arose a most vehement clamour against the cruelty and blood-thirstyness of the laws, the abomina tions of the prison -house, and lastly the dreadful in humanity of indicting and punishing criminals ; a clamour so much the more deafening, as it became necessary to quiet the call upon the humane in theory to b e humane in practice also. Such may be said to be th e or i g i n o f thi s b astar d v i rtue , as far removed from the light of real and unaffected piety, as the gor geous glittering of tinsel is from the steady and supe rior lustre of the intrinsic metal. We have been led into these remarks, in conse quence of reading certain effusions of the weekly Press, commenting upon the conviction of HANNAH GROVE, and sundry idle boys at Weymouth. Of course, both fit subjects for the lucubrations of weakly Papers, (pardon an antique pun). The feelings of these gentlemen are most violently outraged by the conviction and punishment of a young lady, and seve ral young gentlemen, who were so unhappy as to take a fancy to the goods of other people, which fancy th e y gratified by appropriating the .same to their own ,use ; the young lady by stealing (we beg par don for the offensive expression), removing the lace of another, not her mistress, but one who, for sundry pound s sterling by the year, she condescended to as sist in the discharge of divers domestic employments, as sweeping, washing dishes, Sec. The young gentle men robb e d t h e parson's orchard. Old habits are not e asily got rid of, and again we transgress ; we mean to say, that the young gentlemen, unhidden, entered the parson's or c h ar d, an d h e l pe d th em selves ; and re gardless of the maxim that their polite education might Dave taught them to eat as much as they would, but pocket none, they. carried off a few—hats full, and, what is worse than all, for the sake of the lucre of gain ; once a very unfashionable occupation, but now, alas I legitimatized, and ranked as a necessary gentle manly attainment : so much so indeed, that we can remember a very fashionable young man and soldier, who boasted th i rd he contrived (how, we don't pre tend to say), to spend 8001. in a year, with an in come of 3001., and never owed a sixpence. But to return to these convictions, we should be just as little disposed to treat th ese cases with levity as any of our contemporaries, but, we think, the affected gravity of the articles we have alluded to, deserves little other notice. Guilt, in our eyes, is not the less guilt be cause the perpetr a t or i s a c hi ld, or because the object of it i s of trivial value, and we hesitate not to say, that the facts displayed in the case of the boys stealing the apples, were not such 'as to leave us the alterna tive of regarding it as a boyish and childi s h tr i c k to satisfy a p resent longing , of their own, but no thing less th an a systematic piece plunder, under, for th e sake of the mon e y t h e sa l e of the a duce, and not for the s ak e o f eating ge es ' p w l ou : ld pdrio inct i o n w hi c h goes the w h o l e way of sh ow ing th e a ne cessity of punishment to' check an aptitude t in after-life render theseoso,oisittsteitalh: which m i g ht otherwis e ful depredators, hoary h e ad ed sinners, and e them to t h e p u bli c execut i o n er, the disgrace of the g i r r i parentS, the scorn of the 'public.

The corsair, besides this sailor, placed four pirates in the sloop ; but the moment the corsair was out of sight, our valiant countryman availed him self of the first opportunity of one of the pirates being asleep, to put an end to his worldly miseries by a stroke of a hatchet, when he immediately attacked a second pirate, and served him in the same way. The other two pirates fired, and wounded him in his thigh severely, but notwithstanding that, he killed them both, and carried the sloop safe into the port of Navia. Letters from Messina, dated July 12, were received yesterday, which state the arrival there of the British schooner Unicorn, Scott, from Bantry-hay, hound to Corfu, with Lord Cochrane's suite on board.

We regret to state, that yesterday his Lordship was evidently labouring under considerable pain from an attack of the gout hi the hand; to-day, it. was very much increas ed, but his Lordship endured it with his usual unexampled patience, whilst the husinegS of the day went on, having his arm in a sling and his hand in a glOve. NOVEL APPLICATION. 11.1 THE MATTER OY JAMES RAT. Mr. Hart stated, that he was instructed in this matter to make an application on the part of the senior Commis sioner, praying that his Lordship would be pleased to sus pend the insertion of the adjudication of Mr. Ray, as a bankrupt, in to-night's Gazette. The application was made on a letter written by that gentleman, which stated, that after the adjudication had been made, he began to doubt whether the petitioning creditor's debt was a debt that could support the commission, and therefore he wished the advertisement to be suspended until he had given the subject a better consideration. His Lordship—Where does this come from ? Mr. HART..It came from Lancashire. The senior Commis sioner's name was Thomas James Hall, the second a Mr. Barclay, and the third an attorney, called Antrobus. The petitioning cre ditor was an attorney at Manchester, and the doubt arose upon the nature of his debt, under circumstances that the Learned Counsel did not think at present discreet to state, because then he should be discussing the merits of the debt behind the back of the creditor. His LORDSHIP inquired if this statement was verified in any way. Mr. HART said no, but he was quite sure of the authenticity of the letter, from the hands out of whom it had come to him...-. Messrs. Adlington, Gregory, and Falconer, had this morning received it from a gentleman at Liverpool. His LORDSHIP-..-It was a very singular application. The Court never knew such an application being made to it before ; and yet there was a great deal of consideration due to not having a man published as a bankrupt, if the Commisaioners who had adjudicated hi m to be a bankrupt thought they could not abide by their find ing. It appeared to be right that the publication should be sus pended,and yet the Court h ar dl y k new h ow to do it. Certainly was no precedent f or it. here Mr. HART hoped the Court would suspend it. Most unjust and injurious consequences might be the result of publication to-day. His LORDSHIP wished to know how long the suspension was asked for ? Mr. Haar had no doubt that there would be a further commu nication hexe by to-morrow. His Loansuir theu thought as it would only be till Friday, he might venture to stay the advertisement.

Mr. Heald felt i t hi s d ut y t o ask the Court His LORDSHIP considered it a motion for an injunction to stay waste, with respect to publications, and therefore he would bear it now, or whenever the Lear ne d Gentleman phased to addresi him upon it. Mr. }lra Lb then got it to be understood, that lie should make the motion at the sitting of the Court to-nuirro POWELL V. AWO typin nic Mr. Haar appeared for SONNETT the defendant s in this case, and Mr. Roux' for the plaintiff. The defendants brought an action at lavr against the plaintiff, upon which they recovered a verdict for g4,000t.; the plaintiff then filed his bill, stating his readiness to pay the money, upon the Court's indemnifying him from the de mands of any other person than those to whom he might be ordered to pay the money in respect of it. He was willing to pay the money in to Court, until it was clearly decided to whom the stun should lie paid, upon this Court's restraining proceedings upon the ver dict. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor took hint at his word, and granted the injunction upon the money being brought into Court, which was accordingly done. The parties had been before the Master, upon an inquiry to whom the money was due ? Mr. Hart stated, that three defendants had entered an appearance, and that he appeared for the whole five, consenting that the money should be paid to those three, and therefore he hoped the Court would now order the money to be unlocked, and paid to those three Spanish gentlemen. Mr. Honsut resisted the payment of the money out of Court. Two of the defendants had not entered an appearance on the record, and yet they asked to have all the benefit of having entered it, which they- refused to do, and thereby would not give the plaintiff the benefit to which he was entitled, namely, the benefit of the rule, that every defendant should enter an appearance be fore he could be heard in this Court. They had gone into the Master's office and made statements as if they had appeared, upon which statements the Master had made his report, and to which, upon the ground stated, exceptions were taken. His LORDSUIP desired to see the bill and papers, which he would read, and dispose of to-morrow, if possible. OPERA HOUSE sauna v. TATLOL This case underwent some discussion again this morning, as it did yesterday, and His Loansurr expressed some dissatisfaction at the manner in which it had been brought on. The intention of the Court had been stated at the bar, in making orders on former occa sions, to have been just directly opposed to what another side of the bar had stated it to hare been ; and again , that a dozen orders had been made in the cause which would themselves show at once what the mind of the. Court was, when those orders were made, bnt that not one of those do cuments were in Court. The Court would not hear a word more in the cause, until the papers necessary to be seen, were produced. Whatever others might d o , h e s h ou ld l et s li p ever y thi ng th a t passed at the bar, witho u t d ocuments to support i t , j ust as if nothing had been said. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Titts Dia.) FARQUHAR V. STARICEIA. This was a petition on behalf of the plaintiffs, who are bankers, praying that the Court might order, that legal and equitable mort gages which they had on premises belonging to the defendants,who are now bankrupts, should have a preference to all other debts.— The defendants were brewers, who carried on business in Pulte ney-street, and borrowed money at various times from 1823 until February 1826, from the plaintiffs. At the latter period the sum due amounted to 15,0001., as security for the payment of which, the defendants gave a mortgage on their brewery, and also deposited se curities for leases of the White Lion and Duke of Argyle public- houses ; the prayer of the petition was opposed on the grounds that the assignment of the premises was made by way of a fraudulent pre ference, the defendants having been for some time previously in a state of insolvency, to the knowledge of the petitioner who had latterly bolstered them up by lending them money, in order to get the securities in question, for what they had previously lent, made available. The Vicz-CHANCELLOR said, that this case had been repre sented in two ways by Counsel for the defendant, which was in consistent with each other,—one asserted that the petitioners were aware of the insolvency of the brewers a long time before the bank ruptcy, and that they lent money in order to bold them up and obtain securities for their debts; if such had been established it would no doubt be a fraud, which the bankers could not avail themselves of. Another statement made by Counsel was, that their securities were given by way of fraudulent preference by the bankrupts; this was entirely inconsistent with the former statement, for the latter implied a collusion between the parties, and the former a repugnancy ; but it did not appear to him that either was supported by the affidavits, or that any facts had been established which called upon him to order an inquiry elsewhere; he would take the affidavits home to read, and if any difficulty should present itself to him afterwards, he would call on Counsel for an explanation, otherwise he would decide the case on the facts before him. It was his opinion that the bankers had acted fairly all along, had lent the money honestly, expecting that the brewers might recover from their embarrassed state by reasonable relief. He would decide on the petition after reading the affidavits. cOVLDING O'I4EAL. __- The Vter-Cusnort.f.cia in giving judgment in this use, which had been discussed dryer . 104 said that it was a question of great impoitiosoeto the public. It appeared that the defendant in this case ha fl been indebted to the plaintiff in a certain sum of Money, and that be aulpequently entered into a partnership with 'Mr. *ilia, and atrePted $ bill in the name of the firm, for the amount, owing to the plaintiff. The question now was, whether the firm was liable for that acceptanre.. It had been contended on the part of the plaintiff, that as •the transaction was bona fide on his side, he was entitled to recover. But his Honour was of opinion, that any security given by a member of a firm on his own private ac count, could not bind the other members of the firm with their consent. The petition was accordingly discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(Tmts DAT.) A girl named Rachael Nelson, who had the appearance of a Jewess, applied to theLoanMATOR for a warrant against another girl, for an assault. She represented that she had been severely beaten by the defendant, who had received no provocation. The LORD Mavoa—Of what religion are you ? The Girl.—Religion. Why, by my father's side I'm a Jewess, but I was brought up in a Christian school, and that is why she has such a spite against me. The Loan 14boron.—But religion is a matter of belief, and you must believe on one side or another. Which are you ? The can only say that my father was a Jew and my mother a Jewess, so I suppose I am a Jewess.—(Laughter.) The Loan MaYos.—You seem to treat a serious matter with extreme levity; but the oath must be administered to you either as a Jewess or a Christian. Now, which do you declare your self to be ? The Girl.—Why, as I live with Jews I must be like them. The Loan Mayoe, questioned her more particularly on the sub ject of her belief, but she said that she had worked hard and got her living honestly, without troubling herself about the question, on one side or the other. She said she should do as the good people with whom she lived did. The Loan Ma roit granted her a summons, but censured her for her laxity of belief, and said that very little reliance could be placed on her oath, which was without any foundation in religion or belief of religious responsibility. The girl declared she could not help it, for she had no means of telling which was right. An order of (diction was made out against an old black man, 72 years of age, for the maictenanee of a male bastard child.-- The mother, who is a jewels, is 42 years of age. The child hears decisive evidence of its Ethiopian-and Israelitish parentage. It was an extremely sprightly little Mulatto, and the old fellow, who dandled .it in his arms, appeared quite proud of the honours of paternity. Ilia wife, an old woman, who came with him, showed no symptoms of jealousy or resentment for his infidelity ; on the contrary, she paid great attention to his "pretty one," and seemed well pleased with it. AIARLBOROUGH-STREET..--(TIM t)ty.) Robert Ford, a notorious housebreaker, was brought up by Daniel Riordan, a watchman, for having in his possession a crow bar about 4 feet in length, at eight o'clock last night. He re proached the watchman in the strongest terms with having per jured himself at the Sessions, and with trying to swear away his liberty, because he had a bad character. He stated that he was a chair ry e c o a nv z, ce an th d in an impressive eTtiagistra of strain the poui biof lity S o t i . G a ba iles's d elogu character -etlceref,otrrmieidneto; but Sir G. FARRAtT was not to be imposed on, and ordered him to find bail. He wu accordingly leaving the office, in the care of Riordan, when he turned and struck him a violent blow in the fare ; he was, however, secured, and cuureYed to the strong room. Katherine Kenny, Katharine Afacarty, and 'Wm. liarnep, were charged by the keeper of a pork-shop in Tottenhant-caurt road, with u biting and scratching him all over." Ile stated, that last night about eight o'clock, the two female prisoners came to his shop, in a etas of intoxication, and after ask ing the price of- tome meat, they began to " knock up a row" with him. The ladies -itated.tha t t h er f ann i e d a pig's - bead in the com plainant's window, a nd. went in to wilt the price; he tried to impose on them, and they repostslnted with him; be did not pay them proper respect, an d they were consequently .very vin— dictive, but denied the assault. The gentleman, Mister Berne'', said, he saw the ladies ill-used, and interfered to protect them. . Sir G. FARAANT advised tttem, whenever they fancied is pig'. head in future, not to take liberties with the head of the shop keeper...-They were fined a shilling each and discharged. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. A new serio-comic opera, entiled UNTERDROCHENE 0e- FERFEST, or, the INTERRUPTED SACRIFICE, was brought out at this theatre last night, with the most imposing splendour. Theplot " if plot it can he called, which plot was none," is something to the following effect :—Elvira (Miss Hamil ton), a Spanish lady of warm passions, has come out to South America two years before, with Faulk/and (Mr. Sapio), to whom she was betrothed. She is taken by the Peruvians, and her lover, after a quarrel, quits the Spa nish service, engages in that of the Peruvians, falls in love with Myra (Miss Paton), the daughter of the Inca (Mr. J. Bland) and saves his life. Elvin; mean time, who, it seems, has been also captured, is neglected by Faulkland for Myra, and instantly vows revenge; for which purpose she consults Madrent (Mr. Phillips), a gentleman who seems to be a sort of cross breed between IVlephistopeles and the late Mr. John Thurtell. Of course such a character would be in his element where mischief was concerned, and accordingly he seconds her vengeance with the most diligent and disinterested diabolism. It seems that at a sacrifice held annually in honour of the sun, Faulk land is to be accused of blasphemy, a crime which by the laws of Peru can be expiated only by death. This ac cordingly is done ; the offender is reluctantly given up by the Inca; when, by some means or other, which we could not exactly comprehend, he is liberated, restored to his Myra, marries her, and, as a matter of course, lives very happy afterwards. It will be seen from this brief sketch that the plot is a slender one ; but more than com pensated by the exquisite beauty of the music, which, though purporting to be arranged by Mr. Hawes, is altoge ther of a foreign complexion, the production, we are told of Winter—a name highly popular on the Continent. Its principal features are brilliancy and variety, to which first characteristic Miss Paton does exemplary justice. In one part especially, where she has to represent a mad wo man, her singing, and even her acting, was fraught with the most impassioned expression. The same may be said of Sapio, who executed the air during his supposed con finement (the words we shall give beneath) with surprising energy. On the whole, the Opera met with deserved applause, and was announced for repetition amid the cheers of a crowded house. The gloomy terrors of the grave. May fright the coward, not the brave : Let Death at once appear, And I will meet him here : I've met him when the tempest's thunder Has torn the skies asunder ; I've met him mid war's fiercest glow, When, thunder round one roaring, Death shots like hail were pouring; And shall I fear to meet him now ? And what is death ?—a calm repose From life's disturbed and fitful fever, When, freed from all our throes, We sink to rest for ever : Then gladly will I meet him, And, as my surest friend, With rapture will I greet him, Whose arm conducts me to a happier land. No longer here to languish In doubt and misery, To leave this vale of anguish, Oh ! who would fear to die ? The grave is but the portal Through which, though dark it be, Must pass the weary mortal To immortality. • • There was a time ere sorrow Had taught a tear to start, Ere care had ploughed one furrow Across my cheerful heart : But now mine eye is tearful, As well in sorrow vere'd ; This heart no more is cheerful, But throbs as though 'twould burst. Mine hours are passed in anguish, Nor dares a hope intrude ; Since 'tie my lot to languish In silent solitude. COBURG THEATRE. . , The lonpannotineed Melo-drame- learratts. Jome Rock), founded on the story of John 'Doe, in xherpopular Tales of the Cr Mara Family, which wan inutilated by its transportation into Spain, by order oUG: Crilman;-Esq. at the English Opera House, was last night brought out at this.Theatre, and produced, as it should be, as an Irish Na tional Tale, illustrative of national manners. The whole merit of the tale, which is very great, was thus brought before the public, assisted by the vivid reality attained in theatrical representation ; and very seldom indeed have the audience of a Minor Theatre been gratified by a piece having so well-founded a claim to their unqualified appro bation. For deep and affecting interest, striking and powerful situations, and happy illustration of national character and manners, this piece is unsurpassed by' any thing lately produced on a minor stage. The Patthern, in the first scene, with its various dances, and terminating with a complete picture of an Irish row, is as lively and amusing as it is faithful to reality. The change of making the old maniac grandfather (Mr. H. Kemble) the executor of retributive justice on the monster Purcell (Mr. Lewis), is a most judicious and happy alteration, as it removes from the hero, Young Kavanagh, the stigma which so mean a vengeance had left on liiin,and works up the conclusion to a most exciting satisfactory climax. The acting throughout was very respectable. Rowbotham's personation of the Young Kavanagh was replete with fine feeling, judgment, and energy. A. riveting and almost breathless interest was excited by this drama from the beginning, and its close was attended .with the most rapturous bursts of applause. It was followed by a humorous farce (RED CONSPIRACY, OR THE THIRTEENTH), founded on the French Vaudeville of " Les Monteaux," which has produced so powerful a sensation in Paris, and a version of which is now perform ing at the Haymarket. It is put together with much dra matic tact, and constitutes one of the most laughable bagatelles with which Mr. Davidge has entertained the town. His own acting in it was admirable. We will in stitute no comparison between the rival theatres; it is sufficient to say, that at the Coburg the piece is attended by a degree of laughter from beginning to end. The evening's entertainments concluded with Tun PILOT, in which Mr. a Smith sustained the character of Long Tom Coffin. SHIPPING INTELLIGENC LLOYD'S.—(THis Day.)

THE ELOPEMENT IN NORFOLK.--A Correspon dent in Norfolk, who resides near the seat of the young Baronet, whose wife eloped from him a short time ago, says, that the young couple lived very uncomfortably together, for some time previous to the occurrence, and that they occupied separate beds for the last three months. The lady has brought her husband two chil dren, and rumour states, that the cause of disseoion was a supposition on the part of the husband, that h last child did not resemble him in a very striking man ner. The family mansion is now in a state of very great confusion ; the Baronet has not only refused to see his children, but he will not allow of a single visi tor.---Morning Chronicle. THE HOUSE OF DEnaY.—There are at present liv. ing, four successive generations of the House of Derby, viz.:--the head of the family, and three heirs of the Earldom, following each other in a direct lineal' order. First, the Earl of Derby ; second, his eldest son and heir, Lord Stanley; third, Lord Stanley's eldest soil and heir, the Hon. Edward Stanley ; and fourth, the Hon. Edward Stanley's eldest son and heir, born last Friday week, and not yet christened. There was once a young lady who kept a pet.flea. It had an exceedingly long, and exceedingly' minute, gold chain, fastened round its neck ; for its owner could not think to allow it perfect liberty, althoqh she wished it to enjoy as much as was consistent with its safe keeping. She appears to have been very fond of the charming creature ; for, says the veracious Sal muthius, " it leaped about, and sucked the delicate blood of its mistress ; and, when it was satisfied with exercise and food, arranged itself upon the couch !" COMING TO THE POINT.—The following is a ver batim copy of a Ciceronian epistle lately sent to a parish clerk residing somewhat less than 100 milts from the parish of Wootton, near Northampton : " Can wa baa marad to morrow morning . at abwart Clock : Plase to sand ntaa word."— Warwick Adver tiser.

Notwithstanding the absence of moat of the leading sportsmen at York, where the great August Meeting commences this day, there was some tolerably heavy business done on the St. Leger. but without producing any important change from our last quo tation.—lt is reported that Sir W. Gerard, the owner of Buxton, is dead; till the truth be known, it may be prudent not to enter into any engagements on that horse, as all bets, but those in which he is classed with other horses, will be off. if the above rumour prove correct. The events of the present week at York will doubtlesit make some alteration in the odds; and as the grand event is not far off, we would recommend our sporting friends to be on the alert. IT.
